Because we understand that pizza can be so much more than a flat disc of dough.

Because we have one of the world’s BEST burgers.

People travel from around the world to eat one of Au Cheval's burgers — and for good reason! The burger has been dubbed one of the best in the world over and over again, and people are willing to travel for the experience.

Because you can find a gourmet hot dog basically everywhere.

Because our meatpacking district is still home to premier butcher shops and actual meat.

If you visit the meatpacking district in other cities (*ahem* NYC), you'll only find fancy clothing stores and ritzy bars — but if you go to Chicago's, you'll see actual meat and world-class butchers. Yes, restaurants and galleries have started to creep in, but you'll still see butchers casually carrying whole pigs throughout the streets.
